What was an effect of the land act of 1815?

The Land Act of 1815 aimed to facilitate the sale of public lands in the United States, leading to increased westward expansion. It established a minimum price for land and set a minimum purchase size, which made it more accessible for individuals to acquire land. This act encouraged settlement in the western territories, contributing to the growth of agriculture and the economy in those regions. However, it also intensified conflicts with Native American tribes as settlers encroached on their lands.
